Previous garden was very, very rich soil (ex pig farm), here the soil is so humus depleted as to be almost sterile. E.M is the only one here which...
Just out of interest, Crocosmia is Montbretia (and Montbretia is Crocosmia) The one I have going wild is Emily McKenzie, but I have had all the...
I would pot them up, but that is because I have never managed to keep them dried off. Also I doubt if you have managed to remove all the corms...
Tree peonies have a woody stem and herbaceous ones at this time of year are usually reduced to just below the surface buds. Either way you can...
You will probably find that they fall to pieces as you dig them out. It is a good way to increase your stock.
No problem. Dig them up with a decent rootball and put them in plastic pots and fill up the spaces with compost (if you have some, if not then...
As said, it happens a lot if you are lucky. It would be easier to list the plants which don't do it rather than the ones that do. Part of what...
Mahonia Soft Caress.
The best time is when you have the material available. Spring is probably better when the sap starts to rise, but it can be done now.
Sadly the only way is to graft a piece of your Corkscrew Hazel on to a rooted ordinary Hazel sapling. Hazel does not (or very rarely) grow from...
Definitely not Fireblight. Having seen it before I know the signs. This Sorbus just slowly 'dried' as it would in Autumn rather than looking as...
Well, the stump is now lying on the ground. Very heavy it is too. There is no sign of any fungal root thingies in the soil, so hopefully we are...
yes, but not as much fun as a pair of scissors!
Our neighbour tells me that he often finds a slug in his kitchen with no idea as to how it is getting in. We have had them here, but we think they...
We were worried that it might be a fungal infection. There is a long time dead sycamore about 15 feet from it (in the hedgerow so not removable)....
Must be about 50 years old. It rather quickly went from green leaf to dead. Not Fireblight as the leaves just went dried rather than scorched. In...
I know that, I just wondered if there was a tiny form of a hybrid Hosta around.
I grew 6 Hostas from seeds last year. They all look very much like the plant from which the seed came, except, that 5 of them are about 6 inches...
The wattage is 700 to 800 (what it says on the machine)and the number is how many can fit on a side plate, single layered.
I slice open the nut, put them on a plate and in the microwave for 1 minute on high. Then they are peeled while still hot (they are easier to peel...
Separate names with a comma.
